The Brewer's Art Tavern - Highland

Not good. Service was pretty bad. Food was mediocre. First time under the new owners. Don't think I'll be back. My friend and I had the fish and chips. Meh. My wife had a burger and it was okay. Ordered onion rings and it came out with fries. When we asked about the mistake the waitress left,came back and said that they were out. Hmmmm. The End.

Great local spot! Friendly staff and atmosphere, great food and beer, and live music is a bonus!

I recently learned of this establishment as I saw an offer for $15 for $30 worth of casual dining. They are located in Highland Crossing. My hubby and I came earlier this week on Tuesday and they were closed (normally not) so we made another trip out today. I made reservations at the recommendation of a staff when I called to confirm their business hours. He said it's hard to predict if they would be busy or not. Upon arriving at 5:30, there were plenty of available tables even though the restaurant is small. We were told we could sit anywhere so we sat at one of the two communal high top tables. Bar and patio seating is also available. My hubby's order included an orange crush, Mangers Irish Cider, malted everything pretzel (app) and pierogi as his entree. I ordered the fish chips since it got good reviews on yelp. Sadly we were not impressed with our food with the exception of the pierogi, which we both agreed was the best tasting out of everything we ordered. The pretzel was average although the added beer cheese (extra $1) was good. The menu said the fish chips came with a side of spicy slaw and side of tartar. It came with neither. I didn't realize until coming home and looking at a photo of the menu that it came with slaw. I did ask for the tartar sauce. The fish was bland and needed seasoning or at least salt and pepper, which I asked for. I did like the batter which was crispy. I am not sure why other reviewers raved about the fish. Could it be a new cook? The rosemary parmesan fries had good flavor, but were too soggy. If they were cooked longer and came out crispy, they would have had potential. I'm assuming the kitchen was slow as it took awhile to bring out our order. Our server was friendly and came by one or twice to check on us and to clear our table.

Great food. Great prices. Met the owner and she's a terrific lady. I wish them nothing but great success.

The food, atmosphere and service were amazing. My kids loved it. I will 100% be going back.
